So, an update... This might be the record for the longest ever project, ever. Been working on it after work for about 3-4 hours a night for the past 2 weeks. I think I saw a grey hair the other day. Just today I redid the intake piping since I can't figure out some wiring issue, going to have to attack that from a different angle. It won't crank and the fuel pump won't prime with the key on.
Seeing how wrinkle paint works.

Lost about 2 feet of excess piping, more ground clearance too. Not sure what I was thinking the first time.

What's left to do...
Figure out what is causing no crank or fuel pump.
Wire in the slim line fans.
Run a few vacuum lines.

Another wtf was I thinking. Why did you guys let me buy these stupid fat plug wires?

Slim line fans also came in. Planning to cut down the factory fan shroud and the slim fans should be a perfect fit.

Other than that, not much done today. Also cleaned out the new intake piping and painted the rest of them.
